Port ram? We don't need no stinkin' port ram! <said in a heavy south of the border accent>

Can you explain how you got your Cloudy problem fixed? (Possibly stick it over in that AF thread.) I haven't run into flashing issues myself, but it could come in handy in the future.

Hey Derkom - how's it going? :)

Well, I didn't get it fixed. I tried to follow their guide in the Wiki but I
couldn't get it to work out.

Fortunately for me, I had originally purchased 2 each of the Cloudy and
STorm ST boards. I just swapped them out. I e-mailed the team with my
problem and I'm hoping they'll be able to help me out.

Odds are, and the universe being like it usually is, I'll be the only one
who *ever* has a problem flashing the board. :lol:

@ Derkom - just a quick follow up. I've sent the Cloudy and STorm ST boards in
question back to the Thunderstorm team. They were nice enough to offer to
take a look at them. The one key thing that seems to be standing out is that I
really should have taken the original TOS v1.4 ROMs from the Mega ST4. I've
done that now and as soon as I did the file copying problems I had (posted
earlier in this thread) all went away. We think that the ROM's being left in
place interfered somehow with the flashing process.

Thanks.

This month, November 2021, at the DarkForce! BBS we are giving away a free copy of:

Prince of Persia!

Box exterior is a little rough but the floppy disk and manual are in good shape. I'm also
including a CD of P.Pera's HD adapted versions (there are 3) of the game.

Great Atari ST game, good luck to all, and thanks for calling.
